In his inaugural address, President Barack Obama declared, “Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real, they are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this America: they will be met.”

Here at EOCP, where the challenges are as real, as serious, and as numerous as anywhere in the country, homeless individuals and families are meeting their obstacles with the help and care of staff and the peace of mind that comes from knowing that every night they will have food on the table and a warm place to sleep.
